Experimental Predictions for Norm-Conserving Spontaneous Collapse

Previous work has shown that nonlocal collapse in quantum mechanics can be described by a deterministic, non-unitary operator added to the standard Schrödinger equation. In terms of key aspects, this term differs from prior work on spontaneous collapse. In this paper, we discuss the possible predict...

description Previous work has shown that nonlocal collapse in quantum mechanics can be described by a deterministic, non-unitary operator added to the standard Schrödinger equation. In terms of key aspects, this term differs from prior work on spontaneous collapse. In this paper, we discuss the possible predictions of this model that can be tested by experiments. This class of collapse model does not intrinsically imply unique experimental predictions, but it allows for the possibility.
